MADtv tunes in to top fans with StreamSend

March 20, 2023 By Dennis Bouchand Leave a Comment

StreamSend is helping client MADtv in creating spealized communications with its fans. The Emmy award winning comedy series has proven to be an audience favorite for fourteen seasons with its unrivalled pop-culture parodies and politically incorrect humor. MADtv enhances and personalizes that relationship by reaching its core group of over 20,000 enthusiastic show viewers through its e-newsletter, offering weekly updates about upcoming episodes, new sketches and future guest stars. The MADtv newsletter also features extra content for subscriber first-viewing, and resulting emails are printed and delivered to the cast member they address.

Turning to email provider StreamSend, MADtv found the solution to creating and enhancing relationships with its most devoted fans, insuring that its messages would only be sent to welcoming readers.

First, StreamSend helped them whip the subscriber list into shape, removing inaccurate or uninterested addresses and reducing the list by almost 30,000 names. But the remaining list was golden: for the first time, MADtv had an accurate, direct link to make sure these top fans received timely, relevant show information. ISP concerns about Spam were allayed as opt-outs were recognized and respected, allowing emails through to eager readers.

MeetTheFamous.com launches a different kind of celebrity website

March 20, 2023 By Dennis Bouchand Leave a Comment

MeetTheFamous.com announced the launch of its new website: the first and only to pay users who break celebrity news. The site is already creating a buzz amid celebrity gossip enthusiasts with its tagline: “Where You are the Paparazzi!”

MeetTheFamous.com takes a fundamentally different approach to celebrity gossip because 100% of the content is created by users instead of relying on mainstream news sources. The result is countless first person experiences, good and bad, that feature the biggest celebrities in the world.

“I started MeetTheFamous.com because so many people witness celebrity news breaking on a daily basis. Aside from tipping off the gossip sites or news outlets, they don’t have anything to do with their photos or stories and then they go relatively unnoticed,” said Jordan Osher, CEO and Founder of MeetTheFamous.com. “I saw a need in the celebrity news industry and filled that void with a fully interactive celebrity website that actually pays its users for breaking celebrity news.”

In its first week, MeetTheFamous.com has already seen 10,000 visitors submit over 1,000 user generated celebrity news stories.
